Ok, "make deinstall" and "pkg_delete -O tnt-1.8" helped me out.
I got myself into this situation after installing the package with
a PLIST from the previous version. A few files have changed since
causing several warnings during the install.
I de-installed the package, updated the PLIST and re-installed the
package after that, but couldn't get rid of the warnings discussed
above.
Thanks for your help
